The Adhesion Surge grants the Surgebinder power over pressure and vacuum. It can be used to bind objects together with such strength that the bond will break before the material.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The strength and duration of the bond are determined by the amount of Stormlight that is infused.

Such a bond can be created in various ways. The most obvious way is for a Surgebinder to infuse one object with Stormlight and presses it up against another. The interface will glow faintly (until the bond breaks) and will attract bindspren. Or, the Surgebinder infuses an area with Stormlight which will then stick any object that comes into contact with it.{{book ref|sa2|10}}

The first method alters an object's or being's spiritual gravitational bond to the planet below, instead temporarily linking it to a different object or direction. It allows the Surgebinder to run up walls, send objects or people flying off into the air. Advance user of Basic Lashing can make himself or herself lighter by binding only a portion of his or her mass upward. Binding a quarter of one's mass upward effectively halves that person's weight. Similarly, it is possible to use multiple Basic Lashings to make a being's effective weight higher.{{book ref|twok|part=ars}} This is known as a '''Basic Lashing''' among Windrunners.

The second method creates a bubble around an object that imitates its spiritual link to the ground beneath it. In effect, this makes the infused object pull other objects towards itself. It is much harder for Reverse Lashing to affect objects touching the ground, where their link to the planet is strongest. Objects falling or in flight are the easiest to influence. Other objects can be affected, but the Stormlight and skill required are much more substantial. It is unknown whether this ability manipulates gravitation or a combination of gravitation and pressure.{{book ref|twok|part=ars}} This is known as a '''Reverse Lashing''' among Windrunners.

'''Growth''' accelerates organic growth to tremendous speeds. The Surgebinder can infuse the seeds to a plant with Stormlight and in seconds, it will become fully developed. It is unknown if this ability only works on plants.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}

'''Regrowth''' is the power of healing.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}

The Transformation Surge grants the Surgebinder power over Soulcasting. '''Soulcasting''' transforms any material into one of Surgebinder's choice. Transforming something into the pure form of an [[Ten Essences|Essence]] is quite easy.{{book ref|twok|72}} Soulcasting requires the corresponding gemstone for the Essence the Surgebinder is trying to transform into. Soulcasting something into blood, for example, requires a garnet infused with Stormlight.{!{cite}} The process may leave the gemstone shattered, although the larger the gemstone the less likely it is for that to happen.{{book ref|twok|15}} The mass of an object remains the same when it is Soulcast.{{book ref|twok|5}} It may not be possible to create gemstones with Soulcasting.{{book ref|twok|33}}
